MacLELLAN, John Neil - It is with vast sadness and a
great sense of loss that we, as a family, announce the sudden death of our
beloved father, John Neil MacLellan, on Tuesday, October 24, 2006. He was born
a son of Malcolm Hughie and Catherine Flora (Cassie) MacLellan on February 18,
1925, in Piper's Glen, Cape Breton. In his early years, he exhibited his sense
of entrepreneurship by starting the first part of his career as a maple syrup
producer in the Margaree area at the age of 10. His endeavors led him to much
bigger business dealings during the next 60 years in the road building,
construction, trucking and forestry sectors. After marrying the love of his
life, "Mary Jeanette Burke", they combined their mutual talents and energies
to build both a sizable business and family of children. "John
Neilie" will always be remembered as a self-made man who always put family
interests first, and will be greatly missed by all who had the pleasure of
knowing him. He has left to mourn his daughters, Cathy (Russ Berthier),
Rockdale, Richmond Co.; Donna (Ronnie Berthier), St. Andrews, Antigonish Co.;
Maureen Myers, Kempt Road; Johnene (Earl Proctor), Cobourg, Ont.; and sons,

MOMBOURQUETTE, Hon. Joseph William (Capt. Ret'd; C.D.) - 85, Oromocto, N.B. Joe
died peacefully on November 27, 2007, in Oromocto Public Hospital, in the presence
of his loving wife, Theresa. Joe was born on September 9, 1922 in Lower
L'Ardoise, Richmond Co., Cape Breton. He was the eldest son of the late Anthony
and Clara (Sampson) Mombourquette, whom he dearly adored and honoured all the
days of his life. He grew up in the small fishing community of L'Ardoise and
began full-time work at the age of 13. Although only 17, he joined the Canadian
Army in Halifax in 1940, as a member of the Princess Louise Fusiliers Regiment
(PLF). The PLF saw action in Italy and Holland from late 1943 until May 1945,
ending the war after freeing the coastal town of Dalfziel, Holland. His younger
brother, Frank, died in action in Dalfziel on May 1, 1945, as a member of the
Cape Breton Highlanders. At war's end Joe had earned the rank of Sergeant and
remained with the PLF until 1947, when he returned to school at College Ste.
Anne in Church Point. Upon graduation, he entered St. Francis Xavier University
in Antigonish, graduating with his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1952. During his years
at St. F.X. Joe participated in every aspect of university life, including
student government, the Co-op Society, Reserve Officer Training, the Varsity
track and field team, intramural sports and the school's religious activities.
Joe was student council president in his senior year and was elected Life
President of the St. F.X. Class of 52'. With his good friend, Frank "Fa
Fa" MacNeil, he was co-recipient of the prestigious Larkin Trophy, awarded
to students with the best all around commitment to academics, athletics, campus
and religious life. He remained a dedicated alumnus and passionate supporter of
St. F.X. and its sports teams, faithfully attending his five year reunions and
keeping in touch with his fellow alumni. After graduating from St. F.X., Joe
rejoined the Canadian Army as an officer and immediately began training to join
the Canadian Forces, then fighting in the Korean War. Before going overseas, he
married the love of his life, Theresa Marion Clannon, to whom he remained
faithful and devoted during the 55 years of their marriage. Joe was in Korea
from late 1952 until early 1954, when he returned to Canada and met his first
child, Colin, who had been born while he was away. During Joe's time in the
military, he and Theresa were stationed in Petawawa, Ont.; Chatham, N.B. (where
Peter and Kevin were born), Oromocto (where Michael and David were born),
Montreal (where Maureen was born), finally returning to Oromocto in 1964. Joe
retired from the military in 1973 with the rank of Captain, having served for
many years as the Base Personnel Selection Officer. He moved with his family to
Burton, N.B., where he and Theresa continued to live among wonderful friends
and neighbours. Joe began a new career in 1973, as the manager of the Manpower
office in Minto, N.B., where he made many new friends. He eventually
transferred to the Fredericton Manpower office and was assigned responsibility
for Project Second Career at C.F.B. Gagetown,
assisting retiring soldiers find civilian work. A long-time supporter of the
Progressive Conservative Party, Joe finally answered the call to political life
in 1982 and was elected MLA for Oromocto-Burton-Geary. He was appointed to the
Provincial Cabinet as Minister of Labour in 1982 and in 1985 was appointed to
the Executive Committee of Cabinet. He did his best to serve his constituents
with honour, ability and integrity, fulfilling the pledge he made during his
first campaign. Following the 1987 election, Joe remained active in the
Oromocto area community, continuing a life of service he had begun during the
1950's. During his almost 50 years in the area, Joe served on the School Board,
was a member of the Oromocto Lions Club and then the Burton Lions Club, was
actively involved with the First Oromocto Scout troop, was an organizer for the
Oromocto Winter Carnival, was the Master of Ceremonies for the Oromocto Pioneer
Days for more than 10 years, was on the founding Board of Directors of the
Oromocto VON, was a frequent canvasser for the Heart Foundation and Cancer
Society, and generally pitched in whenever anyone asked for his assistance or
the use of his commanding voice. He was proud of his military service and loyal
to his comrades, honouring their service through his participation in Branch
No. 93 (Oromocto) Royal Canadian Legion, the RCR Association, the Korean
Veterans Association, the Federal Superannuates
National Association (FSNA) and by regularly attending reunions of his wartime
regiment, the PLF. An avid sportsman and conservationist, Joe was president of
the C.F.B. Gagetown Fish and Game Club in the 1960s and for many years was a
member of Ducks Unlimited. He enjoyed hunting and especially fishing, spending
many days during his retirement years on the water with his buddies and his
son, Peter. In his earlier years in Oromocto, Joe enjoyed playing hockey and
golf, and was a competitive curler and bowler. A faithful servant of his God
and Saviour, Joe was a dedicated member of St. Mary's Parish at C.F.B. Gagetown
and then St. Vincent de Paul Parish in Oromocto. He was a member of the Parish
Council at St. Mary's and became its first Eucharistic Minister. At St. Vincent
de Paul he was again involved in the parish council, serving several years as
president of the Council. He was also an usher, reader and Eucharistic Minister,
and a 4th degree member of the Donald Clattenburg Assembly 1991 (Oromocto)

later years he was an auxilliary member of the Legion of Mary and a member of

her beloved husband, Ernest Linwood McNutt (d. 1989), on the anniversary of his
birthday; her son, Charles (d.1958), and her grandson, Richard Russell
(d.1972). A little lady with a mighty heart, Angie's life centered around her family and the church. Born in L'Ardoise, Cape
Breton, in 1904, one of 16 children (not counting nine stepsiblings), she loved

Angie raised five children and was adored by her 18 grandchildren, 22

the Liberal Party. Angie was the embodiment of what it means to be a Christian.
She was a dedicated member of the Holy Childhood Association and received a
plaque honouring 50 years of helping with the missions to third world
countries. As an active volunteer with the Red Cross some of her most precious
memories were of her work with the mentally challenged. She volunteered with
the Sisters of Service, interpreting French at Pier 21 for many years and also
gave her time cooking meals for Hope Cottage. In recognition for her work she
received the Medal of Merit from the Arch Diocese of Halifax and, in September
2002, she was presented with the Certificate of Faithfulness to St. Joseph's
Parish. Her dedication to St. Joseph's was further recognized when her image
was used in a stained glass window commissioned to adorn the church. In April
2007 she was honoured by the Catholic Women's League with a medal marking 50
years of service. In addition to her children, grandchildren,
great-grandchildren and great great-grandchildren, she is survived by her
